Summary
What if the money you leave your kids actually ruins them? In this episode of From Underdog to Entrepreneur, Pat Miller sits down with nationally recognized estate planning attorney Blake Johnson to unpack why traditional inheritance often creates entitlement—and how intentional legacy planning builds stronger families instead. Blake shares his journey from working alongside his father to buying him out, scaling a multi-state law firm, and developing the Family Bank Method, a framework designed to teach responsibility, not dependency. Together, they dive into what it really means to build wealth that lasts, how entrepreneurs must evolve from survival mode to leadership, and why values matter more than money when building a business… or a family legacy. In this episode, you'll learn: Why "just giving your kids money" can do more harm than good How the Family Bank Method creates responsibility, not entitlement The real test of entrepreneurship: building a business that runs without you If you care about building wealth and raising capable, grounded humans, this episode will change how you think about success, money, and legacy. ✨ Connect with Host Pat Miller Instagram thepatmiller11 Website patmiller.net Connect with Blake Johnson: https://yourfb.com/ https://trustedepa.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/trustedepa/
